Arko van Brakel

Inspiration is my core competence. My purpose in life is to support and stimulate entrepreneurship, autonomy, living our dreams, realizing our life-goals and off course to stimulate a healthy mind in a healthy body to be always ready for creative innovation.

Entrepreneurship is my passion. The meaning of entrepreneurship as a lifestyle, based on values as Trust, Transparency, Sharing, alignment and Co-creation, goes further than "just" owning a company. In my vision, an entrepreneurial way of life will become extremely important for us in order to deal with the main challenges our "WE-conomy" is offering us. There seem to be less and less certainties in life. The only guarantee we have is in ourselves, our values, our passion, our dreams and above all in our capability to live and follow these values, dreams and passion. Whether you own your own company, or not: just be your own story!

My BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) or dream-goal is to make The Netherlands the most entrepreneurial country in the world. I am specialized in entrepreneurship, (on-line) marketing, E-business, (online-) strategy and innovation. Training, advising, counseling, power sessions, motivation & inspiration sessions, workshops, events and projects are my core business.

Interaction with people, to help them become "the best version of themselves" is my passion. My approach is powerful, personal and energetic.

Last but not least I have to mention my great network of brilliant friends and colleagues, beautiful people I can rely on: entrepreneurs, consultants, project managers, creatives, ICT-specialists, students, trainers, marketeers, professors, politicians, I love them all!
